While a life on fire may sound inspiring and fantastic, it is wise to remember that if you catch fire, and it is not swiftly extinguished, you will surely die. This playlist shows the strange bittersweetness of bothering to interact with fellow humans.

Here's the deal: Send us a thought, phrase, question, quotation, or whatever else, and if one of our mix tape robots fancies your suggestion, the crazy set of circuits might just make a mix tape out of it — well, at least a tracklisting for a mix tape out of it.
